"We spotted a car we've been looking for the past couple of days, stolen out of Apopka," said Volusia County Sheriff's Captain David Brannon.

Police said they had information that Jamiroquan McGill, a 17-year-old wanted on charges of attempted first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in Sanford, was driving a Honda Accord stolen out of Apopka.

"He was kicking in doors during the daytime and robbing people's homes. It was good to get him off the street today," said Brannon.

Officials said they tried to stop the gold Honda Accord using stop sticks near Reed Ellis Road when McGill maneuvered around them.

McGill fled from police, and 13 minutes later, deputies received a call for a suspicious person wearing price tags on jeans near Arrendonda Drive in Deltona, deputies said.

When authorities arrived, the 17-year-old ran into the woods. He was tracked down by a K9 and placed in handcuffs.

Deputies said they found the gold Honda Accord in the backyard of a home in the Highland Lakes community.

After McGill was caught, Chopper 2 showed deputies entering a nearby home with guns drawn. Deputies searched the home and a car parked in the backyard.

Authorities said during the incident they received a call that a motorcyclist was hit on Doyle Road near S.R. 415 by a car matching the one McGill was driving. The motorcyclist had minor injuries.

Two others, Albert Thompson III and Christopher Hunter Jr., were arrested in January on charges related to the drive-by, which police said occurred on Oct. 21.

"These series of events which took place in Sanford, were life threatening and done with total disregard for human life and safety," said Sanford Captain Jim McAuliffe. "This type of behavior cannot be tolerated and people who do this type of thing need to be locked up."
